REPLY TO MRS. COUGAR.
To the Kar sas City Times:

To the Kar sas City Times:
CAwKER CITY, Kan, March 13.-Per.
NIT me to say to Mrs. Helen NJ Cougar,
whose open letter you recently published,
that have read her address urging Kansas
women TO make immediate use of the great
privilege she and a few mugwumps at To-
peka saw fit to confer upon us without our
request or consent.
But the women of Kansas would speak
with you, Mrs. Cougar Let us assure you,
Mrs Cougar, we realize that a great re-
sponsiblllty rests upon some of the Kansas
women, but only those who have exerted
themselves SO wonderfully to be allowed
to exercise mans rights. The Kansas
women as whole did not ask for suffrage
and never imagined for moment that the
representatives at Topeka would behave
like SO many Is year old boys. or that the
governor, whose paper has always op-
posed the so-called woman's suffrage
movement, would meekly turn round
and sign his name to bill which he
knew wonid not benefit the people
of his state. But since the deed
is done rest assured that your bugle
call will be answered rs it deserves.
and You might as well return to your ma.
tive state and home and the work God in
tended for you, leaving the Kansas wo-
men to take care OF their own interest and
make known their wishes when neces-
Sary.
If ''the good men who have believed in
and trusted in us to assist them in bringing
about much needed reforms" would listen
to their own consciences instead of a few
wandering women who are trampiug over
Kansas delivering lectures, it would have
been better
If these wandering apostles will GO
home and attend to home duties, their hus
bands and brothers will protect their in
terests and respect woman, womans wish
es and wOman's rights
Don't misunderstood us; We have heard
your lecture, admired your command of
language and address We believe YOU to
be good woman, but we pitied you and
regretted sincerely that you misunderstood
yourself 10 such an extent.
May we not urge you, then. to discon-
tinue your efforts in our behalf and cease
L. labor under the impression that we shall
on the first Monday or Tuesday in April
leave our home duties to rally round the
flag al the polls.
o, no. Mrs Cougar. we are not educated
up to that just yet, and shall prove the
earnestness, the faithfuness OF Kansas
women. and homer womanhood, our homes
and our state by fully performing our duty,
viz, attending to our own affairs, while
you and the men are busy at the polls.
